Ghost Catching System

As soon as this person arrived, he scolded Yun’er, which naturally did not sit well with the people present.

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at Wang Meng and saw that he was just an ordinary person. Considering himself superior, he said coldly, ”Mortals, it’s useless to talk to you. Qiu Yun’er, you must come with me to Mount Taiding immediately.”

Mount Taiding was where Qiu Yun’er’s master had gone. Qiu Yun’er didn’t know, but Chu Hao was very aware of it.

When Wang Meng heard this, he became furious. How dare this Taoist priest call them mortals with such arrogance!

Qiu Yun’er respectfully asked, ”Senior priest, why should Yun’er go to Mount Taiding?”

The middle-aged Taoist replied, ”Your master is at Mount Taiding, and we’ve come to take you there.”

Qiu Yun’er was overjoyed; finally, there was news about her master.

”But... but...” Qiu Yun’er was undecided and looked towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, ”You say Yun’er’s master is at Mount Taiding, but what proof do you have?”

The middle-aged Taoist glanced at Chu Hao. He could sense the young man’s strong Yang Qi but could not confirm if he was from the Yin and Yang Realm. So, the Taoist said, ”I am Master Wuzhong from Mount Taiding. I have come down the mountain to take her back. There’s no need for you to ask any further.”

Was Master Wuzhong brain-dead or mentally challenged? His arrogant tone and the sense of superiority he exuded made the onlookers uncomfortable. Chu Hao looked at him sideways and said, ”Just on your say-so, you expect Yun’er to go with you? Are you out of your mind?”

Master Wuzhong snorted coldly, clearly displeased. ”Young man, this is none of your business. Don’t create trouble for yourself.”

Wow! My temper is flaring up, just when I was thinking I had nowhere to show off. You’ve walked right into the crosshairs. If today wasn’t Yun’er’s birthday and we all wanted to keep the mood light, do you believe I’d make you kneel and sing ’Conquest’ right now?

Chu Hao, with his hands behind his back, said, ”I don’t care whether you come from Mount Taiding or Mount Taishan; if you want to take Yun’er with you, you have to ask me first.”

Master Wuzhong gave a slight smile, but there was a trace of chill in it as he said, ”Young man, dare you tell me your name?”

Chu Hao, with his hands still behind his back and an air of a superior being, said, ”My reputation is not something you can just inquire about and know.”

Master Wuzhong said angrily, ”Impudent junior, you dare to mock me?”

Although Chu Hao was smiling, he stared at Master Wuzhong and took out a silver handgun from the System Space. Not just Master Wuzhong, but everyone was taken aback upon seeing it.

Where did this gun come from?

Chu Hao said coolly, ”So what if I make fun of you? Do you know who I am? If you dare take someone from here, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes.”

”DING... Host has earned 2,000 Pretentiousness Points for a Scary Show Off.”

Chu Hao chuckled inwardly. Brother Hao had reached a new level of pretentiousness. Sometimes even Magic Artifacts from the Yin and Yang Realm wouldn’t intimidate these people, but a gun was a different story.

He had encountered such situations before when people from the Yin and Yang Realm faced him with just cold weapons, which was really frustrating.

These guns were what he had collected last time he cleaned up the underworld in Longxi City, casually taking a few and placing them into the System Space. The sight of the gun frightened Master Wuzhong.

To be honest, I’m not made of iron, Master Wuzhong thought. A bullet from this gun could probably pierce through metal, let alone human flesh.

Seeing this, Master Wuzhong was perplexed. He had thought he could easily take Qiu Yun’er away, but these people didn’t seem like pushovers.

Then, Chu Hao took out two more guns and tossed them to the twin brothers, saying, ”If he dares to make a move, shoot him until he looks like a hornet’s nest. I’ll take the fall for it.”

With guns in their hands, Great Treasure and Little Bao were thrilled. This was their line of work, and they handled the firearms expertly, clearly no novices.

Zhang Xiaobao exclaimed in surprise, ”The latest AK-47 assault rifle! Boss, this gun packs a punch; it can even penetrate steel plates.”

Zhang Dabao was even more dramatic. He disabled the safety, aimed at Master Wuzhong, and laughed, ”The Fergie 80mm rocket launcher! This baby can reduce an elephant to rubble.”

”DING... Host has earned 2,000 Pretentiousness Points for Intimidation.”

Master Wuzhong’s mouth twitched. He didn’t typically resort to common weaponry, but he had certainly heard of the notorious AK-47 and rocket launchers.

Particularly the rocket launcher, that’s just too much!

The atmosphere had become somewhat awkward.

The previously arrogant Master Wuzhong now found it difficult to back down. He knew that though he could take down one or two of them, at such close range, a single shot would either kill him or leave him crippled for life.

Feng Yuanyuan was unbelievably excited. What am I seeing? Guns and even rocket launchers—are they shooting a cop movie? These guys are Yun’er’s brothers, and they’re just too cool! Feng Yuanyuan’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Master Wuzhong took a step back and swallowed hard, saying, ”I... we are all civilized people.”

Zhang Xiaobao said contemptuously, ”You wanted to snatch someone, and now you talk about being civilized? Boss, I think this guy is a con artist. Let’s just shoot him.”

Chu Hao nodded and said, ”Sure.”

Zhang Xiaobao chuckled, chambered a round in the AK-47, and aimed it at Master Wuzhong.

Dammit!

Master Wuzhong didn’t dare to stay any longer. He turned and ran with incredible speed, even attempting serpentine maneuvers, which supposedly made it impossible for someone to shoot you.

”PFFT!”

There was a chorus of jeers from the crowd.

Master Wuzhong wished he could crawl into a hole. He, a renowned expert from Mount Taiding, was frightened to such an extent by a group of gun-wielding individuals.

When Master Wuzhong got back into the car, Yan Chen asked, ”Senior, was it that young Taoist nun?”

Yan Chen, who had also seen Chu Hao, suppressed the hatred in his heart.

The young Taoist priest also asked, ”Uncle-Master, was it her?”

Master Wuzhong straightened his disheveled clothes and said solemnly, ”Indeed, it was.”

The young man was ecstatic. ”Uncle-Master, what are we waiting for? Let’s take her back.”

To cover up his haste and embarrassment, Master Wuzhong said, ”She doesn’t trust us. We must have a token from her master to convince her.”

The young Taoist was puzzled. ”But you’re a great master; taking that young Taoist nun should be easy. Where can we find her master’s token, given that Master Yun is...!”

Master Wuzhong said, ”I have my ways. It’s already late. Let’s go back and rest.”

Yan Chen quickly drove the two seniors to the hotel.

In fact, Master Wuzhong was also at a loss. He had never imagined that this group of people would play so unconventionally, directly pulling out guns, even rocket launchers. It was all too flamboyant.

「Early the next morning, Master Wuzhong and the young Taoist priest arrived at Sanqing Pavilion.」

”Has the secular world become so open? In the past, this would have been condemned as counter-revolutionary,” Master Wuzhong said, surprised by the items for sale in Sanqing Pavilion.

He reckoned it had been over a decade since he last descended the mountain. Back then, Huaxia Country hadn’t been so prosperous.

A wealthy woman shopping in the store glanced at the middle-aged Taoist and sneered, ”Country bumpkin.”

Both Master Wuzhong’s and the young Taoist’s faces turned ugly. Who are they calling country bumpkins? The secular world nowadays is filled with such malice.

Master Wuzhong calmly said, ”It is most important to remain calm and peaceful.”

The young Taoist had no choice but to suppress his anger and replied, ”Yes, Uncle-Master.”
